p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Snow in Florida!


The Polar Vortex spread all the way to the golf and central Florida breaking temperatures records after records. The city was shut down for two days and the yards were covered with a mist of snow and ice. Something we are not used to. I believe we had almost 1/2" of snow, which could probably be another record in this area
The birds seem to be doing fine, though. Just slipping and sliding on their perches

You big sissies
This kind of weather sure adds a whole new canvas to your normal surroundings doesn't it. Your birdies look fine, they probably moved down to FL from OH so nothing they haven't seen before and worse!

That is a Classic RWBB Socrate, I don't see them in the snow ever! Though chilling, a lovely set of your little friends and all with nice color and details

How weird is that. And what happened to the global warning! I'm 1200 miles north and we're up to our eyeballs in it! Don
P.S. Love your yellow rumps; in a good way!

Terrific set Socrate. Too bad about all the cold weather down there. Will make my oranges more expensive. #2 is pretty and excellent quality. That on is my fave, but each is very nice.

Hey, we are used to deal with Hurricanes, down here!
Strange feel. All the bridges were closed, together with school, offices, stores. Nobody on the road. It did feel like an Hurricane was coming, but in a good way
Thanks for your comments, Karl.

Thank you, Ken.
I was able to save some oranges from my back yard trees. But some didn't make it

Nice set Socrate. Over a foot here this week and it is still coming down.

2, 7, 9 and 10 are my picks Socrate. 1/2 inch is usually melted hear even when 20f out in one day if the sun is out. As far as shutting down the city, was that because everyone stayed home from work to take photos? We don't even bother to shovel for 1/2 inch, sometimes we will sweep it up and it goes fast.

Well great photos and memories for a life time. I just looked at the photos again, you did not get anything close to 1/2 inch. Possibly 1/4 inch. It is not a measurable amount, we call what you got a dusting.

Simply amazing! Great photos and I suspect something you never thought possible unless you ventured up north. I hope you had your snow shovel ready and somewhere found some gloves
Imagine people who save up for a year to go to the warmth of Florida only to experience that...

Wow, Socrate, what a lovely way to illustrate our crazy weather! They're all terrific (something comes to mind about "exposure control") but favorites here are the yellow-rumps, mainly because I don't have any in my yard!

Stay warm. ~Greg

Gotta go to Alaska! They are enjoying record warmth. Instead of snow they are getting rain. Rain caused an avalanche that cut off Valdez from the rest of Alaska. Estimated it will take a week to clear the road. Meanwhile, the winter olympics have NO snow.

Some great shots. Really like that take on the cardinal hen.

Good Afternoon Socrate
Was the snow a treat? Or you rather never see it
You surely got lovely winter photos to share
My most favorites is number two and the last one!
Yesterday and today feels like a heat wave at 50 degrees!
Hope the ground hog tomorrow says a short winter!

As long as pipes don't freeze and the locals don't crash their cars into you- your unusual weather seems to be providing you with magnificent photo opportunities.
And- Socrate- you're taking very good advantage of the opportunities.
These are terrific images!
My favorite (by a small margin) is #7, although I'd suggest you consider a small cropping of top or bottom- or both .

Wow Socrate, I am glad I did not make my vacation trip there now. You made the most of the cold though with some great images. Bruce

These are wonderful Socrate ! I love them all. Who would think you would get cardinals in the snow Looks like you got much more ice and snow than we do. Actually , we only got the sleet .
